Daily Update, March 15, 2024

    On Friday, the nursing company secretary visited for a short talk. They're still planning a longer talk when the owner can come too, but she wanted something in the meantime. It was good to talks and touch bases. {Smile}

   I also called my doctor and left a message when I got their answering machine. Further tries didn't get any response, so I'll try again Monday. {smile}

   I also called my dentist and left a message with them when an old message came up when I cleared an even older message from my voice mail. They called me back and offered an appointment next month for the follow up to the root canal. I made that appointment. I'm just sorry I didn't find that message sooner. {smile}

   I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Mom and read to her before dinner. Mom was awake when I got there. She seemed interested in the pictures, especially the ones of the children with animals.  I began with scripture and thoughts about it first. Then I continued the long family Christmas letter from her niece from 2019. After that, I continued "The Picture Book of Kids and Animals." Next, I read "The Ant and the Grasshopper" in _Five-Minute Stories: Over 50 Tales and Fables_. I ended with the 15th of March's story from _366 Stories for Bedtime_, "Dressing Up." {Smile}

   My first exercise of the day was my head exercises while Dark and I were winding down after teaming for the evening. Then I did my arm swinging exercises and my arm resistance exercises after he left. Then after a short break, I did over three minutes of salsa dancing. I was breathing a little heavily afterwards, but not as bad as on Tuesday. Then I did my standing arm weight training exercises, and my sitting arm weight training exercises.  {Smile}

   I finished Thursday's daily update after breakfast. then I read comics and played Cross Stitch World until the visit with the secretary. After the visit, lunch, and phone calls, I read more comics and played more Cross Stitch World. Then I cleaned myself up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming. I said hi to Dr. Faustus, who barely answered, and to Dark, who started chatting. I was happy to see him on early for him, though it was late for me to get on. We teamed up on low-level characters and talked about writing until it was time to read to Mom. {Smile}

   After dinner, I started writing this up. Then I hopped into City of Heroes: Homecoming, and found Dark, we teamed on the same characters, and talked more about writing. I think we've discovered a shared passion. I missed talking with Nox again and had to make do with saying goodnight when I found they had done so and left for bed. Then Dr. Faustus said hi, apologizing for being busy earlier. Dark and I joined him, and the three of us teamed until Dr. Faustus left. After that, Dark and I talked a bit, then left, too. Next, I started my exercises, with breaks where I wrote this a little. After the exercises, I did a little Cross Stitch World and a little online shopping, as well as making notes in this to write from the next day. {Smile}
